I was pretty lucky coming here looking back. A couple of good friends in Singapore where I was living before here, introduced me to the scenes here, and some decent people here when I first moved. So maybe it's first impressions. Have come across a fair few negative people since then. Everyone has their ups and downs, but not much point hanging around people who are always negative, so leave them to it. Negative people just attract negative things, but often don't seem to realise it. Life's too short and there's plenty of decent expats to spend time with. Cheers Fletch  Somehow you met me ...and BigToe on the same evening. Double bonus... I think. |

, we did end up discussing football though I thought it was cigars, and where BigToe quietly disappeared to. |

I think this whole thing about 'negpats' (nice term) is very much overplayed especially on internet forums. Given the alternatives; I have found that even lowly TEFL clowns have been on the whole happy here. Yeah. The negpats are probably of the very high minority.

It seems a fair few come here to live, but end up getting very bitter about everything.

Agreed, many come here to try and escape their personal demons, not surprisingly they follow them

I'm afraid to become a negpat, but that's one of the reasons I'm thinking of bailing out of the country.
The environment where we live should always represent the values we believe in. Thailand used to be one of those places, but it is less and less by the time goes by.
The same did happen to me when I was living in Singapore. Very functional country, but so damn dull. Thailand is not dull, but is unfunctional country. There must be balance in some place.
